The fear that I have is wanting to move to bigger cities upon finishing residency, but worried that options are scarce. I've been told that FM doctors are being recruited left and right, and that it shouldnt be too hard to find adequate jobs. One of the places that I don't see myself is in small towns, and in conservative locations. Suburbs, that connect to cities that isn't too far(<30) or even actually living in a decent size urban city are places where I would see myself living and practicing
However, it seems like in larger areas, there is a lot of specialties around, and the demand for FM docs is lower, which might make it difficult. As far as what I've seen in terms of those AAFP journal classified, it seems they mainly advertise in smaller towns. I feel as if I don't want to get my hopes up, only to find it would be a massive struggle.
I was wondering for people who practice in a larger city, if it would be actually possible to do so as a newly graduating FM resident. I still have some time to go, but I am curious....seeing as before I know it, I'll have to find a job :O
